Question

which of the following reactions release energy?
endergonic reactions
dehydration reactions
hydrolysis reactions
formation of water from hydrogen and hydroxyl ions

Explanation:

• Endergonic reactions: Absorb energy (e.g., photosynthesis).
• Dehydration reactions: Require energy input (e.g., forming macromolecules).
• Hydrolysis reactions: Break bonds by adding water, release energy (e.g., ATP hydrolysis).
• Formation of water from hydrogen and hydroxyl ions: Is a neutralization, but not a major energy - releasing process like hydrolysis.

Answer:

hydrolysis reactions
